Committed to a Greener future

At J&C Joel we are committed to leading the way in terms of following responsible environmental policies and setting a positive example for our entire industry.

We manufacture a huge range of products to meet the needs of numerous industries and companies and our raw materials come from many and varied sources. Whether locating cotton for our canvases and backdrops, wool for our serge’s or the raw materials for our range of stage machinery, our aim is to secure products from responsible, environmentally friendly sources wherever possible. We’re mindful of the obstacles to sustainability we constantly encounter in terms of the sourcing and transport of raw materials for all of our products and we’re always on the lookout for ways to reduce our carbon footprint without compromising the high quality of all J&C Joel products.

We also work closely with the largest brands and manufacturers within the theatre, entertainment and stage machinery industries to ensure that all of the third party products we offer meet the environmental standards we set for ourselves as well as the standard of quality expected by our customers.

The responsible sourcing of materials is only one part of our environmental agenda; J&C Joel also follow a policy of responsible manufacture within an environmentally friendly atmosphere. We’re constantly striving to reduce the carbon footprint of our manufacturing premises and practices in order to reduce our environmental impact. We also ensure that all of our manufacturing and office waste is recycled whenever possible. We’re committed to reducing the environmental impact of our fabrics in terms of their manufacture and the chemical flame retardants we use to treat them. We recycle over 10 tons of wool pieces each year which reconstituted into other wool fabrics.

J&C Joel are now embracing the Oeko-Tex standards programme. We work alongside selected industry partners in order to offer an ever-expanding range of fabrics which customers can be confident meet the internationally accepted Oeko-Tex standards for safety and ecology in their production and finishing.
